About Me

Life is an adventure to be lived, not read about! I am an addicted arctophile (lover of bears!), quilter, stitcher & craft designer. I have been married to my best friend Scott (AKA My Beloved Geek Boy!) for 25 years ... & still like him! We live in our 'Dream House' on an acre in a semi-rural area that provides inspiration for my craft pattern designing; with an ever-growing population of bears, cloth dolls, quilts & stitchery projects. Grab a cuppa, get comfy & enjoy your visit! :0)

The One Project A Month (OPAM) Challenge Guidelines
2018

The idea
of the “One Project A Month Challenge is pretty simple ... To try to finish at
least ONE craft project by the end of each month. This can be something
you’ve had partly done for a while (a Work In Slow Progress WISP), a pattern
you bought ages ago that you finally get around to making up, or a completely
new project. This is meant to be a low-stress challenge - if you don’t finish a project every
month - that’s fine! We understand
sometimes life interferes with our plans. We also realise some projects are
meant to be long-term and have a LOT of work involved, like a quilt or a
cross-stitch. The main aim of the OPAM Challenge is to give us all a bit of a
motivational boost and to give us all a big cheer squad to encourage and
inspire us.

Please
read through all guidelines before you sign up.

1.Participants
must have an ACTIVE BLOG. If you change your blog address, drop us an email
telling us your old address and what you’ve changed it to.

2.Numbers
won’t be limited for the sign up for OPAM 2018, BUT ... it WILL close on
February 28.

3.Participants
can sign up via email to Kris or Peg, or via a comment on EITHER blog AS LONG
AS it includes all asked for information.

5.Please
add the OPAM Challenge badge on your blog sidebar and link it to either Kris’s
or Peg’s blog.

6.Please
keep a list of each month’s finishes on your blog sidebar and update it BEFORE
the last day of each month. (This is easiest if you add each project as you
finish it.) If you can put this directly under the OPAM badge on your sidebar
it will be easier for Peg and Kris to find it. You may also choose to have a
separate OPAM 2018 page on your blog.
That’s fine too as long as it’s clearly labelled.

8.QUILTS:
A quilt will only be counted as a
finish if it is COMPLETELY finished ... Quilted and bound. Flimsies/tops
won’t count as finishes.

9.BOM’s:
Individual BOM blocks DO NOT count as a
finish.

10.If you
can email Peg or Kris your list of finishes each month BEFORE the end of the
month, this would be appreciated, as it cuts down the amount of time it takes
to check finishes for the month. (and save Peg and Kris from getting square
eyes!)

11. Lastly,
participants MUST ... Have fun! After all, the reason we craft and create is to
relax, have fun and take some time away from the “Have to” tasks to do the
“Like to do” ones! :0)
